Careful with your concotions ladies

[sareca]

.... you might end up a little ripe.

Tonight is amla rinse night but instead of my usual, I decide to make enough to do 3 or 4 rinses; one after each wash. So I add my usual amla and brahmi infusion (which is a little stinky anyway) to the empty bottle I keep in the shower. To that I add 10-15 drops of rosemary oil (to keep it from growing nasties), about a tablespoon of neem oil, and shake it up. I'm not a rosemary oil fan but when I was done it didn't smell that bad... in the bottle.

Well, I'm sitting here after 3 shampoos (full-strength), 2 ACV rinses, and a boat load of my best smelling leave-in conditioner and my kinky twists still smell like VOMIT. I kid you not . Hubby's already giving me funny looks.

I guess I'll try washing it again tomorrow.

It may not be your concoctions. It may be the hair if it is new. Extensions always stink to me until after several washes. I am a 3 times a week washer so I usually get past that stench quickly.

Re: Careful with your concotions ladies you might end up alone

It still stank this morning. It actually smelled worse. I guess my body heat warmed it. Mental note: Don't warm anything that smells like vomit.

I decided to soak it in the bath. I filled the tub got in and laid back. I ended up shampooing 3 more times and doing a baking soda rinse. That still didn't kill ALL the smell. I right now I'm doing a hot oil treatment (my hair's kinda stripped from all the poo'g) w/ my most pleasant smelling oil -- virgin coconut oil.

It was funny last night,but I have to be at church in an hour. I'm actually getting kinda worried now. I might have to take them down a few weeks early. I'm not walking around w/ coconut-vomit hair.

Ewww...erplexed

Maybe one of the oils went bad? That's all I can think of. Rosemary oil doesn't make my concoctions smell like vomit.

Good luck getting the smell out.

OMG! poor you.

 

[RainbowCurls]

Oh no! That sounds bad!
I don't know what to suggest.
I was thinking a bicarbonate of soda claifying rinse, but I'm not sure with twists, you might not be able to rinse it all out properly erplexed

If it's sunny where you are, maybe sit out in the sun for a bit and hope the sun will evaporate the smells away....
Do they make Febreeze for hair...?

It does the same thing to me!! I finally gave up on it and just use Vatika Oil now.
